This is what I have read from the CBUG newsletters. Only a certain
"white" PLA will allow the original 8088 co-processor from the Commodore
labs to work, and only on the high-profile B's.
I have only tried on these systems. You can't fit the co-processor
into a low-profile system anyway, too big. I am guessing that we're
not talking about the same co-processor card.
